Just when I thought that it was all over for the season, I receive 2 separate emails.The first was to inform me that I had been shortlisted for the Sports Personality of the Year for the Castlepoint & Rochford District Sports Awards. And a week later, the second was to tell me that I have been shortlisted for the Young Sports Personality of the Year 2016 for the Essex Sports Awards.This was a lovely surprise and tops off a fantastic year. Even if I don't win, just to get nominated and then selected down to the last few out of the hundreds put forward is so amazing - just to think that someone had thought of me when talking about this award really puts a smile on my face!

So I want to say a huge THANK YOU to whoever those people were that nominated me and thought I deserved to be rewarded for my hard work - as this has just made this season even better! :)
